Candle Care
Always make the right decision with your candles. Only you are responsible for the good care and caution with a burning candle. When using candles, it's important to follow certain precautions to ensure safety and prevent accidents. Here are some key candle safety tips:
1. **Never Leave a Burning Candle Unattended**: Always extinguish candles when leaving a room or going to sleep.
2. **Keep Candles Away from Flammable Objects**: Ensure that candles are placed away from curtains, paper, furniture, and other flammable items.
3. **Use Stable Candle Holders**: Place candles in sturdy holders that won't tip over easily and can catch any dripping wax.
4. **Trim the Wick**: Before lighting a candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent uneven burning and excessive flickering.
5. **Avoid Drafts**: Keep candles away from drafts, vents, and air currents to prevent rapid or uneven burning.
6. **Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets**: Ensure candles are placed where they cannot be easily accessed by children or pets.
7. **Do Not Burn Candles All the Way Down**: Leave at least 1/2 inch of wax at the bottom of the container to prevent overheating and potential damage.
8. **Use Candle Snuffers**: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish candles instead of blowing them out to reduce the risk of splashing hot wax.
9. **Extinguish Properly**: Make sure the candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
Following these precautions can help ensure that your candle-burning experience is safe and enjoyable. 🕯️✨
